Ok /g/ today I got... AMD FX 8320 MSI 970A sli krait Cosair CX750M

amd is shit and you feel shitty for buying a shit processor

OC it and it will be decent. not bad for $200 desu.

>>56413000
this.

also

>>56413000
Fuck off Intel shill and take your H1B immigrants with ya.

>>56413026
First microcenter purchase. Place is amazing.

Either way I'm building a custom case for it also.

>>56412865

not a great deal but if you didn't already have a computer it's fine i guess.

>>56413232
For 200 what's wrong with it?

that's not bad! I have had my 8320 since they came out steady overclocked at 4.2ghz. Always been able to play games at max settings in 1080p. just now after all these years thinking of upgrading to a new intel processor. The 8320 will last you a while though if playing at 1080p

>>56413663
I have no desire to exceed 1080p. There isn't enough improvement to justify anything more vs the cost. I can get a 40 inch 1080p tv for dirt cheap.

This whole project is going to be built into a modified desk with a plexiglass top so it's more about the DIY project than anything else. But I do not think there is a single thing this cpu can't run currently with an OC so it should be fine.

Why not? Never used better?

>>56413809
Yeah...and it was unimpressive.

>>56412865
You paid for a shitty 6 year old platform, that can't even compete with a moddern i3.

AMD Zen is coming out in 3 months and any support for AM3+ will be dropped.

I hope it feels good knowing you just burned your money.

>>56413809

I have and for PC gaming it does not really matter. the 8320 will be fine for the next 1-2 years

>>56414624
>PC gaming
sure but for literally everything else you do on a PC it's way better to have more resolution.

>>56414637

wake up..all people do on here is build computers for pc gaming

>>56413000
>decent cpu+motherboard and a decent PSU for $200
shut the fuck up shill

>>56413809
personally I can't justify spending $400 on a monitor and another $400 on a GPU to drive it if 1080p is still just fine
I have seen 2560x1440@144hz and 4k and they were glorious, but not worth the cost for me

MSI:s AMD-boards have housefire tier vrm

you might get about 4.1-4.2 ghz for 1-2 years before the power delivery dies from the motherboard
use a blow down cooler or a separate fan with the cpu to cool the vrms

nice meme

>>56414747
ALL amd motherboards have housefire VRM.

>>56414751
how about the i3?

You can get an i3 setup for basically the same cost but with much newer features, and huge upgrade potential without buying anything else but a CPU.

>>56414769

Asus M5A97 r 2.0
Asus Pro Gaming 970 Aura

those are pretty much the only budget boards for amd that have good overall build quality.

DELET

>>56414802
with the i3 you'd be basically using a laptop CPU on a desktop, since it's only got 2 actual cores
they're fine for gaming but if you want to do anything like streaming or transcoding or rendering video then the FX is going to beat the shit out of any i3

>>56414857
Sure but the platform potential is significantly greater on the intel. The single core performance of the quad cores is more than enough to beat the AMD 8 core, and the hyper threaded quad cores are even better than that.

If you are worried about overall performance surely the intel would be the smarter investment at this point in time. At least until AM4 boards are out and you can get Zen.

>>56414802
>and huge upgrade potential without buying anything else but a CPU.
I mean, i3s are decent in some respect, but I don't think you want to slap a higher end GPU on one of those.
Might as well splurge for the i5 if anything for a higher end rig

>>56414804
Yea, I don't know why only Asus has decent 970 motherboards.
The M5A97 r2.0 has VRM cooling which is really nice for OC'ing.

Fuck off, anon! GTFO of the /g/!

>>56414898
I personally don't really care about the 'platform'
my desktop runs a supermicro board with 2 xeons I got off ebay

Right now there's not any good options really
you can get a AMD system with a newer board, since some of them come with m.2 and most modern amenities, but they draw a lot of power and you have to OC them to match up with even 2 year old intel's
or you can get a intel system for a hundred or so more and sometimes see noticeable performance gains

http://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare.php?cmp%5B%5D=1780&cmp%5B%5D=804&cmp%5B%5D=2565
on cpumark there's not a huge difference between the 8350 and even skylake

>>56413000
>>56414702
Oh wow so 10fps more for only $200 extra! What a bargain! Could get the next gpu tier with that price and btfo the i7.

you could have gotten a used 2600k+mobo for cheaper. i did it recently and it's a big step up from the fx-83xx CPUs.

Ok this blew the Fuck up...

So yeah first off Fuck Intel...I refuse to buy from them and support their h1b visa abuse. The 8320 will suffice.

Second...Fuck waiting for zen. There is absolutely nothing I cannot do with this cpu right now for less money without waiting. It was a good deal so why the Fuck not.

Third...heat concerns. I have 4 120mm fans so I'm pretty sure cooling will be fine but thx for the heads up.

And lastly FUCK INTEL.

I won't even be assembling this shit for a bit...custom desk/case and all but for those who aren't little shits who can't read the damn thread I'll post pics when it's all ready.

I feel quite satisfied with my purchases today.

Eat a dick. Go back to /v/ for your gay men needs.

>>56412865
ehhh... Pretty OK of you can get it running over 4.2GHz.
If you had a potato beforehand, sure, ok.
If you had anything even remotely competent, ya shoulda waited for zen.

hello, can someone help me find a good 1070 thats possibly on sale/deal? idk what im looking for

>>56417164
Fuck off nVidicuck

>>56417168
no. i actually enjoy good frames and drivers. u fuck off AMD freetard shill

>>56417212
At least I have open source drivers you consumerist piece of shit

>>56417164
Well that had an assload of em at microcenter when I was there...but if you don't live near one those fuck heads don't ship.

>>56414804
have the m5a97 r2.0
i had to hang the stock fans from 2 opteron 8435 to make them not blow up
asus and msi both are shit. tohse REPUBLIC OF GAYMAN coolers are fucking plaebo

>Eat a dick. Go back to /v/ for your gay men needs.
except most of the features added by intel for their newer chipsets have nothing to do with gaming and are generally maths and scientific application related.

Anyone who needs CPU performance buys intel, regardless of personal feelings on the matter at hand.

Go tell your boss about how racist intel is and see how quickly your entire company switches over to AMD.

>>56412865
all this for 200?
you did pretty good.

>>56414605
It couldn't compete with i3s at the time it came out either.

>>56412865
AMShit cpu is not a good idea

>>56413188
Ah shit nigga what microcenter did you go to i love microcenter. Keep in mind that the sli krait has really shitty VRM cooling.

>>56412865
pleas buy nvidia instead

>>56414802
the i3 is shit compared to the octacore AMD processors

the only advantage of the i3 is an upgrade path to the i5

>>56422769
Single core performance. Anything that can use 2-4 threads will run better on the i3. Anything that can use 6-8 threads will run better on the AMD

>>56413809
because 1440/2160 don't look that much better then 1080 with aa, at least not good enough to justify the massive fuck off performance hit you take.

>>56414701
have access to a 1440 144 that was 600~$ the 144hz is fantastic, but i could care less about the 1440 if it meant i could get more of a lock on always 144.

>>56424488
>/v/
1440p is a nice upgrade from 1080p for anything besides games.

>>56424655
yea

why the fuck did you buy an fx8320 when zen is out in a couple months

>>56424847
I think he said he got all this shit for like $200, for that price its decent

>>56412865

Get some 2133 ram, careful not to get more than 2 sticks because for some reason vishera can't do anything higher than 1866 when using all 4 dimm

Probabily get a 1060 cuz multithreaded driver memes but you'll prob run anything at 1080p 60fps with a 470 unless you're playing some shit like early access or unoptimized games.

Also be careful about that psu, it really doesn't like heat and it's full power is rated at 30c.

Good price, I myself have a 8320 and a gaming 970. Since I work for Nvidia now, im upgrading next month to a 6600k and gaming m5

i got a 4690k and a z97 mobo for 285 dollars, and it shits on any fx processor except the housefire 9590 but that's only in multicore performance.

Hey op, good buy. I have that same board with an 8370e/380 and it rocks.

>>56426388
>I've never used a better computer so mine must be great

Poor AMD cucks, I guess one good side effect of not trusting intel is you never get to experience good desktop performance to compare it to. Makes it less painful to stay on AMD I suppose

>>56424994
Not really. Bargain basement, ancient mobo, 15 year old processor that was a joke when it came out. And a refurb PSU.
"This motherboard doesn't support CPUs over 200W." Which means if he overclocks that housefire he blows the board.

>>56426270
4670k Z87, 8GB, and case for $175 here.
